We supply brand new hopper dryers from 12kg to 600kg capacity, available in stock and ready for immediate delivery. Whether you're setting up a new machine, upgrading older auxiliary equipment, or expanding your production floor — we have the right unit for your setup. There's a reason experienced molders never skip the drying step. Moisture in your resin is one of the leading causes of defective parts — and most of the time, it's entirely preventable with the right equipment in place. A properly sized hopper dryer sitting on your machine is one of the simplest, most cost-effective investments you can make in your production quality. What Does a Hopper Dryer Actually Do? A hopper dryer mounts directly onto the throat of your injection molding machine and circulates heated air through the resin pellets in the hopper before they enter the barrel. The goal is straightforward: get the moisture content down to an acceptable level before the material gets anywhere near heat and pressure. It sounds simple — and mechanically, it is. But the impact on your parts is significant. Wet resin causes problems that show up in ways that can be frustratingly difficult to trace if you don't know what you're looking for: Splay and silver streaks across part surfaces Bubbles or blisters — visible or hidden inside the wall Weak weld lines that reduce structural integrity Degraded surface finish on cosmetic or transparent parts Dimensional variation between shots Black specks from localized degradation in moisture-sensitive materials Run a good hopper dryer, set to the right temperature, for the right drying time — and most of these problems simply don't happen. That's the value of getting this right from day one. Our New Hopper Dryer Range — 12kg to 600kg We stock new hopper dryers across the full capacity range, designed to suit everything from compact desktop machines to large industrial production lines. Capacity Best Suited For12kg – 25kg Small injection molding machines, low-volume or specialty runs25kg – 50kg Standard IMMs up to 150–200T, general purpose production 50kg – 100kg Medium-tonnage machines, faster cycle times, multiple shifts 100kg – 200kg High-output lines, larger shot weights, continuous production 200kg – 400kg Multi-machine drying setups, large-tonnage IMMs, extrusion lines 400kg – 600kg Industrial-scale production, central drying, blow molding Need help choosing? A good starting point: your hopper should hold enough resin for 1 to 2 hours of production at your target cycle time. Tell us your shot weight, cycle time, and shift pattern — we'll size it properly for you. Materials These Dryers Handle Our hopper dryers are built to handle the full range of thermoplastic resins used in modern injection molding: ABS — moisture-sensitive; surface defects show immediately on wet resin Nylon (PA6 / PA66) — highly hygroscopic; consistent drying is essential every run PET & PBT — critical for clarity and mechanical performance in structural parts Polycarbonate (PC) — moisture causes hydrolytic degradation; strength drops fast PMMA (Acrylic) — any moisture visible on finished surface, especially clear parts TPU & TPE — often underestimated but moisture-sensitive in most commercial grades POM (Acetal) — needs careful temperature-controlled drying, not just heat PP & PE — less sensitive but still benefits from drying in humid environments PPS, LCP, and engineering blends — demanding drying requirements; higher-capacity units needed If your facility runs engineering resins, or you produce parts going into medical, automotive, or structural applications — controlled drying isn't optional. It's a process requirement. Why Buy New Rather Than Used? It's a fair question, and we'll give you a straight answer. With a new hopper dryer, you're starting with a clean slate. New heating elements at full rated output. A blower motor with zero hours on it. A temperature controller that hasn't been nudged and recalibrated a dozen times by whoever owned it before. Insulation that's still doing its job efficiently. The other factor is warranty. Our new hopper dryers come with manufacturer warranty, which means if anything goes wrong in the first year, you're covered. No guessing about what the previous owner may or may not have maintained. New units also tend to be more energy efficient than older designs — better insulation, tighter temperature control, and lower energy consumption per kg of resin dried. Over a multi-shift production schedule, that adds up. And frankly, for the smaller and mid-range capacities especially, the price difference between new and used isn't large enough to make used the obvious choice. You're not talking about a six-figure machine here. A new 50kg hopper dryer is accessible, reliable, and comes with peace of mind included. Key Features of Our Hopper Dryers Every unit in our range is built for continuous industrial use, not just light-duty operation. Standard features across the range include: Digital PID temperature controller — precise, repeatable temperature control Over-heat protection — automatic shutdown prevents resin degradation High-efficiency blower motor — consistent airflow even in high-ambient environments Stainless steel inner hopper — food-grade contact surface, easy to clean Insulated hopper body — reduces heat loss and energy consumption Easy-clean discharge gate — quick material changeover between jobs Transparent viewing window (selected models) — monitor resin level without opening the hopper Safety thermocouple backup — independent high-limit protection Larger capacity units (200kg and above) additionally include: Industrial-grade blower with higher static pressure for larger resin volumes Reinforced hopper stand rated for full-load weight Multiple temperature zone options on selected models Who These Machines Are Built For Our hopper dryers serve a wide range of plastic processing operations: Injection molding manufacturers — the primary application. One dryer per machine is the standard setup for most production floors. Extrusion facilities — pipe, profile, sheet, and film producers who need consistent resin condition before the extruder. Blow molding operations — especially PET preform and bottle production, where moisture is a constant concern. Thermoforming plants — pre-drying sheet materials before forming to avoid surface issues. Compounding and master batch producers — where moisture in carrier resin affects dispersion and surface quality. Recycling processors — drying regrind material before reintroduction into the production stream. Frequently Asked Questions 'What drying temperature and time should I use for my resin?' Every material has its own drying specification. ABS typically dries at 80°C for 2–4 hours. Nylon needs 80–85°C for 4–6 hours. PET requires 160–180°C for a minimum of 4 hours. PC dries well at 120°C over 4 hours. We include a full material drying reference chart with every purchase. 'Can one hopper dryer serve multiple machines?' Technically yes, if you use a central drying setup with a large-capacity unit and conveying system. However, for most operations, one dryer per machine gives you better process control and flexibility when running different materials across machines. 'How long does a new hopper dryer last?' With proper maintenance — regular cleaning, periodic element checks, and not running it empty for extended periods — a quality hopper dryer easily lasts 8 to 15 years of continuous production use. The components are simple and replaceable when needed. 'Do you offer installation support?' Installation is straightforward — the unit mounts directly onto the machine throat and connects to single-phase power. We provide full installation guides and our team is available by phone if you run into any questions during setup. 'What's the lead time for delivery?' Our stock is available now. Most units ship within 2–5 working days depending on your location. 'Do these come with a warranty?' Yes. All new hopper dryers carry a standard manufacturer warranty. Extended service plans are available on request for larger-capacity units. Order Today — Stock Is Available Now We don't have a long lead time or a waiting list. If you need a hopper dryer for your line this week, we can make that happen. Tell us your machine tonnage, the material you're running, your daily production hours, and whether you need a standalone unit or something for a multi-machine setup — and we'll come back with the right recommendation and a clear price.
